    My cocker just took a nice chunk out of my finger (angry Lil b*tch) there was a tad bit of blood and skin gone. Its clean and stoped bleeding and covered in a plaster. Should I get a tetanus shot?? Family think it be grand what do you think??

    When's the last time you had one? Did you get the booster (most people forget)

    You'll probably be okay without it.

    Or....

    You could die in agony, from muscle spasms so bad you're tearing your own ligaments. 230px-Opisthotonus_in_a_patient_suffering_from_tetanus_-_Painting_by_Sir_Charles_Bell_-_1809.jpg

    Up to you really

    (you really probably will be okay without it, but you also really SHOULD have the vaccination. Look at it this way, what possible reason could you have to not take an injection that could prevent you either getting very ill or dying, for the sake of 20 quid?)

    anyways...my 2c an'all

    OP, an anti-tetanus shot is recommended if your skin is broken after a dog bite, if you're not up to date on your cover.
